TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Take a class in job searching. Either one finds a job by chance, or one
systematically shifts through the job market with a target job. Job
searching seminars are offered, at about $4-5,000 for 3 days. It's worth
it, since you'll earn $40-50K or more.
The best thing is that the same job searching methods are offered free by
universitys, large companies which are down-sizing, or state unemployment
offices.
If you've graduated some time ago and live far from your university,
contact your alma mater. Many universities have reciprocal exchange of
job placement offices.
In California, EDD (Unemployment Office) offers free job searching
seminars. Contact 415-262-2468 for more information.
Job placement offices often offer free use of long distance telephones,
free faxing, and computers for resume production.
I can recommend this: it worked for me.
